Jiang Lan walked back to Kunlun.

  As for Xiao Yu, she flew on her sword.

  Walking felt better for Jiang Lan.

  He wasn’t in a hurry, and by walking, he wouldn’t cause any conflict with people flying in the sky.

  Especially when the Dragon Race expert and the Pixiu could appear in the sky at any time.

  He did not want to be seen by these two.

  Xiao Yu had a late-stage Essence Soul cultivation level, so it was natural that she wasn’t worried.

  One look and one would know she was obviously a genius disciple.

  His cultivation speed was indeed not slower than any genius, but in the eyes of others, he was still a disciple who relied on resources to increase his cultivation.

  Humans were prejudiced. It was not easy for others to let go of this prejudice.

  Hence, it was easy for him to be criticized.

  But he didn’t care.

  Not caring about it was one thing, but attracting attention was another.

  It was always better to avoid trouble.

  He just needed to cultivate silently. Perhaps one day, when others looked at him with prejudice.

  He had already become the Ninth Summit’s Summit Leader. His cultivation level would have far surpassed that of the Sect Master’s, and he would have been invincible in Kunlun and even across the entire Grand Desolate World.

  At that time, the prejudice would no longer stand.

  Instead, people would look up to him with reverence.

  However, that day was still far away. Becoming an immortal was a stumbling block, one that he needed to move away the most right now.

  Everything else could wait.

  For example, his marriage with Senior Sister Ao.

  He couldn’t care less about it now.

  However, if it were to be announced publicly, it would be troublesome for him.

  In his heart, he hoped that the matter would be made known publicly at a much later time.

  Once the matter at the inn was over, he returned to the Ninth Summit to enter seclusion.

  It would be best if he could reach the perfected Void Refinement Realm before leaving Kunlun for further training and experience.

  One that would allow him to become an immortal.

  As Jiang Lan walked and pondered, he suddenly felt that someone was watching him.

  It was like he was being discussed by some people on the streets.

  The other party was in front of him, towards the left.

  He turned and glanced in that direction.

  It was a male and a female.

  The man was holding a paper fan and looked exceptionally handsome.

  The woman held an oil-paper umbrella, looking elegant and graceful.

  However, there was a red mark between their brows, as though they had yet to open their eyes.

  “Two Void Refinement Realm mighty figures. They don’t look like they’re from Kunlun.”


  This thought flashed across Jiang Lan’s mind.

  “Fellow Daoist, please wait.” Nan Xin closed the paper fan and called out to Jiang Lan.

  Bu Qing followed beside Nan Xin and walked towards Jiang Lan.

  Jiang Lan didn’t ignore their call. Instead, he said softly.

  “What’s the matter?”


  Nan Xin and Bu Qing looked at each other before speaking to Jiang Lan.

  “I am Nan Xin from the Nan family of the Central Plains.”


  “Bu Qing.”


  “I have something to ask you.” Nan Xin looked at Jiang Lan and said.

  “I’ve come for the good wine of the old wine tavern this time, yet I’ve been unable to find the way. I wonder if Fellow Daoist can guide me?”


  Jiang Lan looked at the two of them. The moment they introduced themselves, he felt something sweep past him.

  They were checking his cultivation level.

  Furthermore, it was done in a very hidden manner.

  If not for his One Leaf Vision, he might not have noticed it.

  The Nan family of the Central Plains?

  He didn’t know of them.

  Also, he did not know if her actions previously were intentional or not.

  “Just keep walking forward and you’ll be there.” Jiang Lan raised his hand and pointed.

  There was a hint of politeness in his eyes.

  The other party did not hide their cultivation, but as a perfected Golden Core, he could not see the other party’s cultivation clearly either.

  Thus, it was better for him to be polite.

  “Thank you, Fellow Daoist. From your appearance, you should be a Kunlun disciple, right?” Nan Xin asked.

  Jiang Lan nodded.

  “Yes.”


  “Fellow Daoist, do you know the rabbit demon that came to Kunlun a hundred years ago? I am asking this mainly because we were entrusted by someone to find the person’s benefactor. “Nan Xin said.

  “I’ve never heard of it before.” Jiang Lan shook his head and spoke calmly.

  “Then I won’t disturb Fellow Daoist.” After saying that, Nan Xin left with Bu Qing.

  Jiang Lan didn’t mind and headed towards Kunlun.

  Rabbit demon?

  Were there demons?

  On the way back, Jiang Lan became suspicious. The other party had suddenly mentioned a rabbit demon. He didn’t know if they were implying something.

  He remembered that he had indeed saved a rabbit demon before but he was unsure if it was the same one the other party was talking about.

  However, there was one thing he was sure of. The other party must have come looking for him on purpose.

  However, he did not know why.

  “Let’s observe them and see what they are up to.”


  Jiang Lan didn’t know which family the Nan family of the Central Plains was.

  However, the only people in the Central Plains who cared about him were those from the Heavenly Human Race.

  There was a chance these two were related to the Heavenly Human Race.

  Because he wasn’t too sure about the situation, Jiang Lan didn’t think too much about it. He returned to cultivate.

  Time did not wait for people.

  There was no need to overthink things.

  When the time came, he would know what the situation was. If necessary, he would not hold back.

  …


  After leaving Jiang Lan, Nan Xin and Bu Qing walked towards the old inn.

  “Any gains?” Bu Qing asked.

  His question seemed casual, but the umbrella emitted an array formation that blocked their conversation from the outside world.

  “He is indeed at the perfected Golden Core Realm. This is a little surprising.” Nan Xin said regretfully.

  “Why?” Bu Qing asked.

  “He is the only disciple of the Ninth Summit. Such a person should not be an ordinary person. As he is the only disciple in the Ninth Summit, he does not need to fight and exchange for more resources like the other summits.

  Isn’t it a pity for him not to hide his cultivation level with such a background and leave a trump card for himself? “Nan Xin casually explained.

  “I think that you are just thinking too much.” Bu Qing didn’t agree with Nan Xin’s words, but regarding this, they had a follow-up plan.

  “Then why did you suddenly mention the rabbit demon? This has nothing to do with us, right?”


  “Aren’t there people from the demon race suspecting that someone had stolen something? I was just asking around in case I could discover something,” Nan Xin said with a smile.

  It was as if everything was within his observations.

  “Then why did you mention a benefactor?” Bu Qing asked.

  “Hehe.” Nan Xin smiled and said.

  “It’s very simple logic. If I said enemy instead, who would dare to respond? It would be easier if I mentioned that it was a benefactor. He would then subconsciously think that we were here to repay the favor instead of seeking revenge for the so-called benefactor. That’s if the benefactor even exists.”


  “So the benefactor was just randomly made up? If the other party happens to know of the person, wouldn’t that alert the enemy?” Bu Qing looked at Nan Xin and asked.

  Facing Bu Qing’s gaze, Nan Xin shrugged and smiled.

  “That’s the demons’ business. What does it have to do with us?”


  Bu Qing didn’t ask any more questions and continued forward.

  After walking for a long time, she spoke again.

  “When do we act?”


  “Let’s observe for a while more and wait for more detailed information. If we act rashly, we might fail. “Nan Xin said.

  …


  …


  Returning to the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan placed the vegetative egg aside and started cultivating.

  The cultivation this time was mainly to test the effects of the Dao Comprehension Tea.

  The Dao Comprehension Tea could increase one’s cultivation and comprehension of spells.

  Currently, his Power of Nine Bulls had stopped before the power of the ninth bull, so he wanted to see if he could use the Dao Comprehension Tea to step into the next realm.

  Once he fully mastered the Power of Nine Bulls, his strength would increase by a lot.

  Perhaps none of the late-stage Void Refinement mighty figures would even be a match for him.

  Of course, that was only in theory.

  He did not intend to make such an attempt. After all, the danger level was too high.

  However, there were some things that he would encounter if he didn’t want to.

  Danger would come even if one did not agree to it.

  Then, Jiang Lan began to try the Dao Comprehension Tea.
